TANK-HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,326, dated. August 23, 1904.

Application filed April 20, 1903. Serial N0 153,535. lNo model Be it known that I. Inairnl A. lliso'rrirli. a citizen of the United States, residing' at Belvidere` in the count)r otl Boone and State of Illinois. have invented certain iiew Iand useful Improvements in 'l`ank-Ileaters, of which the following' is a specification.

The object ot this invention is to construct a tank-heater all parts ol which are readilyv accessible and in whiehgreat rad iating'surlace is had` therelrv utilizing' all the heat.

In the accompanying' drawings. Figure l is a vertical central section on broken line fr. Fig. :2. Fig'. Q is a plan view in which the cover is removed. one end and a portion of the tire-chamber broken awav to niore clearly show the internal construction. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on dotted line f1, Fig. 2. Fig'. 4 is an ison'ietrical representation of a portion of the grate.

The outer casing' ol nrv improved tankheater comprises the horizontal section land vertical section 2, in this instance oi' cylindrical forni. A cover 3 is provided for the upper end of the vertical section and has a handle t and damper 5 for closing' the opening,I 6. The end 7 of the horizontal section has a smoke-pipe bconnected to its lower portion. \'Vithin the horizontal section is located a vertical partition E) and a partition 10, the

partition l() separating' the horizontal and vertical sections oll the casing'. Hide lines 11 are located along' each side of' the horizontal section and extend short of the partition 1U and the end T. The metal forming' these fines has the lower portion provided with a retnrn-bernl l2, having` its upper end l' turned in toward the center of the heater forming a support for a grate. Between the main portion ot' the fines l1 and the return-bend 1Q is located the lower edg'e of the plate 14, one for cach line, forming' a tire-chamber and extends between the partitions 2) and ld and extends near to the top ot the horizontal section. A g'ratc is locatedon the outer bends 123 and composed ot' the nlain section 15, having' a section I6 hinged thereto. The hing'ed section has its free end 1T turned up. A short line 1H islocated in the space between the end T and partition 9 and connnnnicates with the smokepipe S. Openings IJ are formed ih the partition Il) near its lower edg'e and eonnnunicate with the side lines ll. A stopper 2U is provided for each ol' the openings. The pal'- tition Il) has a central opening' the size of the ash-pit and tire-chamber which is closed b v a removable door in two sections 2l and 22. having' a connection by the hing'e 23. The pintle ot' the hing'e is supported by the hooks 24. extending' from the partition lll and supporting' lhe door. rl`o the hing'ed section ol the door near its free end is pivotallv eonnected a bar :25, having' a series of teeth 2V, which eng'ag'e a loop L exteinling' from the rnain portion ot' the door. lhe niain portion of the door has an opening 2S* closed by a damper 2t, and also has a handle El() secured thereto.

Fire is started on the grate. and the hinged section of the door is opened sullieiently to g'ivo the required draft. 'l`he direction of the draft is indicated by the arrow and passes through the g'rate over the top edg'e ot' the plates l-t into the forward ends of the side lines, and thence through the side fines and into the lshort line 1H. and linallv up the sinokepipe. 'lhe damper 29 serves to check the lire b v admitting' air over the lire. liv removing the door the hingcd section ot' the grate can be raised, which will allow access to the ashpit below the g'rate. The side l'lues can be cleaned throng'h the openine's lil.

Bv this construction the hre is near the bottoln ot' the heater and the heat passes along' the sides of the heater on its passage to the smoke-pipe, thereby bring'ingthe heat in eontact with the water near the bottoni ol the tank.

The Supports 31 hold the tank-heater in its upright position. The partitions 9 and 1U may he connected in any suitable manner,

l claim my invention l. A tank-heater comprising' a vertical seetion and a horizontal section. a g'rate supportcd within the horizontal section, two vertical divisions separating' the lire-chamber above the g'rate into a center chamber and two side chanibers. and a smoke-pipe connnunieating' with the side chambers.
